Nested Play as Identity Centrifuge

fekaylius — Fri, 15 Oct 2010 17:00:05 +0000

PLAY, a short film by David Kaplan and Eric Zimmerman, explores a potential web of interconnected game spaces that puts the viewer’s sense of identity and context into a centrifuge.

One variant that would be cool to include in a piece like this would be showing the in-game initiation of one of these games inside of a game. This addition could construct a much richer labyrinth of interaction and agency, something much more complex than the obvious russian doll metaphor. The ability to zoom in and out between characters as part of the game play.

Although it’s fairly stimulating to watch someone else’s musing on this potential structure in linear passive form, it might be best explored as a game itself.

Geography of Longevity

fekaylius — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 18:08:58 +0000

This video actually has very little to do with geography, but I do find it interesting that there are specific places, micro regions, where longevity is dramatically higher than the global average. In this TED Talk, National Geographic writer Dan Buettner discusses some interesting common denominators of these long lived, healthy and happy clusters of humans.

There isn’t actually anything very surprising in terms of specific details, but where I see the value of these findings being transformative is in various scenarios such as urban planning, architecture, community development, families, tradition making, suburbia 2.0, retirement, economic development, health care reform, and more.

China is building handfuls of cities from scratch, I wonder how many, if any, of these common denominators have a chance at being intentionally incorporated. When new cities are being designed, is there a “creative brief”?

The most ambitious and engaged graffiti so far. It almost needs a new term coined just to differentiate it from everything else.

Swimming Through Architecture

This cool video of Jeff Williams cruising around the space station brings up the obvious but perhaps underappreciated fact that in space, you don’t really need floors.

Opposites Are Also True

Great video from Derek Sivers about assumptions, opposites, logic, history, and thinking.

The example about Japanese addresses finally gives some context to the alternative global coordinate system Geotude, basically recognizing and giving names to the spaces between the lines.

Exploding Your Micro Worlds

This talk by Will Self starts out slow, but really gets cooking a few minutes in.
He’s talking about walking from London to New York and how to explode your many micro worlds.

Awareness of Perceptual Awareness

A cute trick showing that awareness has a lot to do with attention. The moral? Pay attention to cyclists.

Post Modern Skateboard Shamanism

Things are being shattered: expectations and approaches. Skateboarding is being reverse engineered through a kind of shamanism. This is a really stimulating look at creativity on a board.
